If multiple-paths to the Target are available, then you must describe each path to the iSCSI Initiator. To describe multiple paths to the Initiator: 1 In the Log On to Target window, select Enable multi-path and click Advanced. The Advanced option provides a drop-down menu with all possible source (Initiator) IP addresses and a separate drop-down menu for all possible Target portal addresses. In this scenario, the Target solution manages the actual paths and IP addresses internally. Other Target solutions display each available IP address that can be used for multi-path operations. 2 Select each desired combination of source IP address and Target IP address and login separately to have multiple sessions for the same Target device. 3 Select Automatically restore this connection when the system boots to ensure continuous connection and to avoid establishment of Target-Initiator association during power spike or system reboots. 4 Repeat the Log on process for each iSCSI NIC. Figure A-4. Log On to Target Window For MPIO connection, you must select the Target that displays status as Connected and select Log On. In the Log On to Target window, select Advanced and configure redundant iSCSI Target IP address. Appendix 43

Appendix
43
If multiple-paths to the Target are available, then you must describe each
path to the iSCSI Initiator. To describe multiple paths to the Initiator:
1
In the
Log On to Target
window, select
Enable multi-path
and click
Advanced
.
The
Advanced
option provides a drop-down menu with all possible source
(Initiator) IP addresses and a separate drop-down menu for all possible
Target portal addresses. In this scenario, the Target solution manages the
actual paths and IP addresses internally. Other Target solutions display
each available IP address that can be used for multi-path operations.
2
Select each desired combination of source IP address and Target IP address
and login separately to have multiple sessions for the same Target device.
3
Select
Automatically restore this connection when the system boots
to
ensure continuous connection and to avoid establishment of
Target-Initiator association during power spike or system reboots.
4
Repeat the
Log on
process for each iSCSI NIC.
Figure A-4.
Log On to Target Window
For MPIO connection, you must select the Target that displays status as
Connected
and select
Log On
. In the
Log On to Target
window, select
Advanced
and configure redundant iSCSI Target IP address.
